Sensei called me over and in a whisk i was up on his hips. He then said 'Your not as heavy as i thought Tony' Then placed me down. Picture thanks to Paolo Corallini Sensei Takemusu Aikido Association Italy.

Left; My very first meeting with Saito Sensei in New Zealand 1983. OK I know I look silly with my Afro but he was more impressed that someone had travelled all the way from England to be on his seminar. It was soon after he had just retired from full time work and he commented on his delight teaching such a large number of students. around 60. In the years to come I was with him in Paris with over 700 on the mat. This was a true master showing the world O-Sensei's basic teachings and not the advanced styles that appear to be most trained now days. People will say they think it looks and feels better. But will it work? I doubt that it will, but his will, as it is not his but the founder's.

Above, Sensei Sargeant and Sensei McGlone demonstrate weapons but make the point that its purpose is to change and develop the body and not produce 'sword fighting' skills. The weapons have great value in developing posture and awareness. BAB Cardiff 2014 National Course.
